Green Crystal Tulips

A sculptural still life of uncommon presence, Green Crystal Tulips by John Richard arrests the eye with the quiet drama of bloom translated into three dimensions. At twenty-five inches tall, the composition commands its surface with the authority of a well-placed architectural accent, its depth and width lending a generous, fully resolved silhouette from every vantage. The piece speaks to that rare intersection where the decorative arts reach toward fine art — an object that rewards prolonged looking rather than merely filling a room.
